Harlan Municipal Airport serves Harlan, Iowa at 1,231 ft elevation with its longest runway, 15/33, at 4,100 by 75 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
15/33	4,100 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
03/21	1,693 × 120 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,231 ft is about 13°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.

Conditions	Density altitude	Takeoff est.	Landing est.	Landing × 1.5
Standard day (ISA, 13°C)	1,231 ft	2,678 ft	2,240 ft	3,360 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,431 ft	2,912 ft	2,366 ft	3,550 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,631 ft	3,146 ft	2,493 ft	3,740 ft
35°C afternoon	3,926 ft	3,204 ft	2,524 ft	3,786 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 4,100 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,786 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KHNR is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KHNR

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KHNR, the app flags a price stale after two weeks, and the route finder ranks every field within a corridor of your route by net savings after the cost of the extra cycle. Log a price at KHNR or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
